Some photo's (don't worry, not many) and some blisters!!

I've now consolidated all our photos and taken some of the best out to present here; don't worry there's not lots and some are quite humerous - if you enjoy other people's misfortune anyway. See them here:

If you're really perverse you can see what I had to put up with (no, I don't mean the other five team members!) - in the way of blisters. I suppose you could say it's me that's perverse showing them off in this way but hey ho, I'm hoping you may decide to increase your sponsorship in sympathy. It's dead easy, drop me a mail or call me, I'll happily pass on sponsorship to any of the charities we're supporting (Breast Cancer Research, Cancer Research UK, CLIC Sargent, Heart Research UK, Parkinson's Disease Society and 37 Camelot Way mini bus appeal) or a split across them all.

For you people that like to see what I mean when I say I had blisters the size of £5 notes, look here:

Finally for this posting, I've put the Google Earth script for the complete journey (minus the last day remember) in a zip file on its own to make it a bit easier, just go to the link and open the zip file when prompted, double click on the file that's in there and prepare yourself to be amazed (if you have Google Earth!!), you can zoom in and see where we walked back and forth around locks and all the toing and froing when we had lunch etc. you can also see where we went wrong when cycling and ended up going round in one big circle (oops!) Here's the link:

I promise I'll add some more detail about the journey itself in another posting (at the weekend), including how Gordon (photo above) was mounted by a swan and how Tony was the only person that didn't capsize - see, I'll bet the others didn't own up to you that they had a swim did they......

Actually, talking about Gordon........... unfortunately, when he was applying for his Thames license (which has to be stuck to your boat at all times so it is visible to lock keepers), there was a bit of a typo took place and he had to paddle down the river answering to Gorgon Wood. I know his hair got a bit straggly at times but I never heard it hissing!
